The short answer is that you'd need to disable the particular 'boot' level
startup [as opposed to system / automatic /manual ...startup] service that
is causing the crashes. This would enable you to get into safe mode.

You can get a to a recovery command prompt via your DVD, from which the 'sc'
command and 'reg add' commands may prove useful

sc /?
reg /?
